Thomas Partey is Arsenal's top priority for summer transfer window

English side Arsenal are pushing ahead with a move for Thomas Partey from Atlético Madrid.

The Gunners are sorting out their priorities for the transfer window.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Ghana international is very high on their list.

Mikel Arteta’s side hope they can tie up a deal for the defensive midfielder to give their back line more protection next season.

Partey will cost roughly €50 million, per the source.

Atlético want cash and Arsenal are working out how to best structure a deal, which may include many instalments to make it more manageable given their finances.
